It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario.

(NasdaqGS:CG) and Trustar Capital are planning to raise $4 billion from wealth funds to buy part of their stakes in McDonald's Corporation (NYSE:MCD) operations in Hong Kong and mainland China, Bloomberg News reported.

"We will continue to leverage the capital and other resources from CITIC (Trustar Capital), Carlyle, and McDonald’s Corp. to achieve the future milestone of 10,000 stores," it said. McDonald's currently has 5,400 stores in China. Trustar Capital is a private equity affiliate of CITIC Capital. Shareholders have agreed to the plan, and the asset managers have approached Mubadala Investment and GIC Pte to finalize a deal that values the business at up to $10 billion including debt, the report said. The asset managers aim to reach an agreement with investors in the fourth quarter of this year, the report said. Carlyle declined to comment.
